I can see what you are feeling. But I think this is something that happens everywhere. When some people have a favorite character, it is very difficult for them to see any of the defects of character. It is not right for them to feel this way, but it happens so often that seems to be normal. Humans are humans.

See, I don't get that attitude at all. I love characters BECAUSE of their flaws - that's what makes them interesting to me. Characters that are perfect and never do anything wrong are boring as hell. Where's the conflict?

[mautradutor]

I agree with you. I like when characters are well-rounded than when they are perfect. But I've seen a lot of people that ... Hmm, I'm trying to think of a way to say this. It is as if the flaws make them uncomfortable, so if they love a character, they have to do away with all the flaws.

[(Anonymous)]

But then if they do that, what they love isn't really the character itself. They like the image and idea of the character, but they don't actually like the character. They're only interested in what they WANT the character to be but isn't.

And now you understand fandom. This little piece of insight you've just unloaded is EXACTLY why you see people becoming absolutely insane about their favorite characters and their headcanons and their ships, because they project so very hard onto those characters and headcanons and ships that they begin to view them as an extension of their own personal selves.

[mautradutor]

Yes, this is true. But they do not know it.

I do not defend them. I think they are looking at things the wrong way. However, I would like to try to understand them. I think there's something of value there, even though I think they are wrong.

Man I LOVE Lagertha, but she's got her flaws. Everyone on that show does. TBQH though, I don't like Aslaug. And maybe it's because I'm constantly comparing her to Lagertha and her relationship to Ragnar with Lagertha's relationship to Ragnar, but man, I can't stand her. I really hope he gets that third wife so that she will hopefully go.
